Since we launched Fix nearly a year ago, two requests have dominated our customer feedback: We recently launched a new version of Veracode Scan for VS Code that included Fix (with more IDE’s to follow), which answered some of those requests, and now we’re updating Fix to cover more languages and a new mode that will automatically apply the top-ranked fix.

CVEs, or known and cataloged software vulnerabilities, dominate the discussion about open source software (OSS) risk. In 2016, 6,457 CVEs were reported. That number has grown every year since, reaching 28,961 CVEs reported in 2023—an increase of nearly 4.5 times in just seven years. 2024 is already on track to beat 2023, and we will likely see even faster growth once AI is earnestly set to the task of finding vulnerabilities (not to mention creating them).

Phishing attacks create a sense of urgency and panic in users, who, as a result, easily fall victim to them.
